BREITKREUZ BILL TO SCRAP THE USELESS LONG-GUN REGISTRY

Registry proves that law-abiding gun owners are not the problem

Ottawa – Saskatchewan M.P. Garry Breitkreuz has introduced a Private Members’ Bill to scrap the decade-old Canadian long-gun registry (see link below to Bill C-301).

The long-gun registry was originally budgeted to cost Canadians $2 million, but the price tag spiraled out of control to an estimated $2 billion a decade later. Breitkreuz says it’s time to pull the plug on this useless money pit, because the registry has not saved one single life since it was introduced.

“The registry is a political pacifier created to give the impression that Canada would be safer for it,” explains Breitkreuz. “Nothing could be further from the truth. I believe Canadians would rather see their tax dollars keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and gangs, instead of trying to control law-abiding citizens.”

Should have been done ages ago! Amen, alleluia and pass the ammunition.

Cheers

All hail 10 year old sussex spaniel Stump the newly crowned champion of the world or at least the Westminster Dog Show - the oldest dog to ever win.

The free market is dead , not really.

The entire Erik Millett fiasco is a prime example of CBC News trying to reshape the news, portraying Millett as a victim and good guy and all us Canadians who care about our country as thugs. I've carefully documented this here including a link to Charles Adler's hour long coverage earlier today.

The CBC reporter, Susan Ormiston, is beyond appalling with her desperately slanted coverage. If it turns out that Millett has purgered himself then she should be immediately fired.

The band administrator of the Millbrook First Nation in NS has an impressive resume: He's also on Millbrook's gaming commission, economic development corporation and the housing commission, and he's the First Nations representative on the Chignecto-Central Regional School Board.

Oh, and one more achievement: Charged with 36 counts including possession of marijuana for trafficking, cultivation of marijuana, and unlawful possession and storage of an impressive array of firearms.

I actually saw a clip of Obama's remarkable (synicism) town hall chat with his response to the homeless woman. Did anybody else notice just after he hugs and kisses(?) the lady with the question that a woman behind the right shoulder of the questioner says, "I love you Barrack."

My mouth dropped. Sheesh I hope I'm wrong. How can any sane human put another human on that kind of pedestal?! Why would any sane human want to be put on that pedestal?

Just wondering....

Speaking of Barak and women who love him:

Michelle Obama is going to appear on the cover of Vogue, only the second wife of the U.S. Pres. to do so (the first being Hillary: Trust the spotlight-seeking Dems).

Sorry, I find it unseemly that American Presidents' wives have become cover girls. Appear IN the magazine, OK. But on the cover? In addition to cheapening the office of wife of the POTUS, it takes jobs away from hard-working models.

Amazing article in the Red Star over the weekend about how Toronto, which we know is the centre of the universe, has changed demographicaly since the 1970's. From primarily a middle class city with a small rich area and lower income area into a wipeout of the middle class. The city is now almost all lower income with a larger rich area around the Yonge subway being heavily taxed to pay the soaring costs. Visable minorities make up over half the population with a drastic decline in income. Immigrants are now 61% of Toronto's citizens.

For the Red Star to publish this shows how drastic things must be as Miller increases taxation on every front and services continue to decline. His continual pandering to the public unions with 3-4% raises each year have now allowed these employees to move to the suburbs! Servicing the city's debt is now the second largest expense next to its employee's salaries.

Kelly McParland has a good aricle on this in the National Post.

"Adam Smith Gets The Last Laugh
P.J. O’Rourke

The free market is dead. It was killed by the Bolshevik Revolution, fascist dirigisme, Keynesianism, the Great Depression, the second world war economic controls, the Labour party victory of 1945, Keynesianism again, the Arab oil embargo, Anthony Giddens’s “third way” and the current financial crisis. The free market has died at least 10 times in the past century. And whenever the market expires people want to know what Adam Smith would say. It is a moment of, “Hello, God, how’s my atheism going?”

Adam Smith would be laughing too hard to say anything. Smith spotted the precise cause of our economic calamity not just before it happened but 232 years before – probably a record for going short.

“A dwelling-house, as such, contributes nothing to the revenue of its inhabitant,” Smith said in The Wealth of Nations. “If it is lett [sic] to a tenant for rent, as the house itself can produce nothing, the tenant must always pay the rent out of some other revenue.” Therefore Smith concluded that, although a house can make money for its owner if it is rented, “the revenue of the whole body of the people can never be in the smallest degree increased by it”.

Smith was familiar with rampant speculation, or “overtrading” as he politely called it.

The Mississippi Scheme and the South Sea Bubble had both collapsed in 1720, three years before his birth. In 1772, while Smith was writing The Wealth of Nations, a bank run occurred in Scotland. Only three of Edinburgh’s 30 private banks survived. The reaction to the ensuing credit freeze from the Scottish overtraders sounds familiar, “The banks, they seem to have thought,” Smith said, “were in honour bound to supply the deficiency, and to provide them with all the capital which they wanted to trade.......”"

Commissar Hall interviewed by The Toronto Sun.

Michelle Malkin has more on Obama's 'Savior-based economy'.

That includes her outline of Obama's Town Hall meeting in Ft. Myers, Florida, where a woman, Henrietta Hughes, allegedly 'homeless for a year' and living in a pickup truck, wept and asked Obama for a house. He hugged her and lo and behold, the next day she was offered, free, a home.

As Michelle writes,
"If she had more time, she probably would have remembered to ask Obama to fill up her gas tank, too. The soul-fixer dutifully asked her name, gave her a hug, and ordered his staff to meet with her. Supporters cried “Amen!” and “Yes!” A young McDonald’s worker named Julio bolted out of his seat and exclaimed: “It is such a blessing to see you. Oh! Gracious God, thank you so much! Ungh!”

My comment is that this was a photo-op set up. All meetings with the President are pre-screened; how did an unemployed, homeless (and she looked pretty nifty after a year of living in a pickup truck)....get into the front row of a Town Hall meeting? How?

See Michelle Malkin's blog, and check out her 'Savior Based Economy' and
Obama's Ft. Myers revival meeting'.

This is a very dangerous presidency. What makes it dangerous is both Obama's deep and almost pathological narcissism, which sets him up with a need to control and have others always agree with him, but this need precludes dissent. Dissent is not allowed; he can't handle it as it means that he loses control of you.

Again, his tactics are Misinformation, Manipulation using the emotions of Hope and Fear, and Accusations of Bias if you dissent. But there's something else to watch - how he divides people.

Obama controls people not merely with the above strategies but also by dividing them into ideological groups. Then, he sets them up against each other. Rather than examining and critiquing his policies, people will critique each other or, within their own group. So, he'll try to create rifts and bickering in the Republican party.

His talk about 'bipartisanshp' is nonsense. The reason he is talking about that is because he wants everyone to be homogeneous in their adoration and meek following of him. Watch what he does and says. He has consistently blamed the 'past 8 years' for all that is wrong with our economy and world. He refuses to accept criticism of the 'stimulus package' putting it down to partisan bias and diverting instead to Fear; if you don't pass it, the world will fall.

He can't get something in Congress? He goes to the people, who are far more misinformed and easy to manipulate, and preaches to them. They will pressure their Congressmen and Senators. He's dividing the electorate from their government, reducing the power of these two legislative bodies.

Walter Berns, Abraham Lincoln at Two Hundred
AEI Bradley Lecture, 9 February 2009

Abraham Lincoln was the greatest of our presidents. He saved the Union, which made it possible for him to free the slaves. But he did more than this; without him we probably would have had no reason to celebrate the bicentennial first of the Declaration of Independence and then of the Constitution. It is therefore altogether fitting that we mark the bicentennial of his birth.

This would also prevent President Bush from writing a book, unlike Barack he has a bio. of some content.

More on my concers about Obama - I consider him a pathological narcissist. This is not a mild neurosis but one which takes over and becomes an obsession. His need to control and reject dissent means that he rejects the very structure of government, which is based on controls and checks and balances.

Watch what he does. When criticism emerges, he mocks and belittles the indivivdual or rejects them completely (Hannity). Or, he rejects the criticism because he accuses the individuals of bias and bigotry.

He's doing something else. He's reducing the power of these checks and balances, i.e., the elected legislature of the House and Senate by moving the decison-making process from these elected representatives..to the mob.

Now, power ought to and must remain with the people in a democracy. BUT, as the first amendment requires, an informed and free people. Not a manipulated and misinformed people. Obama, with his tactics of Misinformation and Emotional Manipulation is denying the people the Right and Duty to use their Reason, to find out facts and think about his policies.

He's turning them into a mob, a mindless, emotionally entrapped 'blob'. When the elected representatives in the House and Senate reject his policies, he accuses them of bigotry and partisanship..and then immediately goes to the people. With his Town Hall and Public Addresses, his Rev. Wright style of emotional preaching of love and fear and apocalpytic scenarios, he transforms the electorate into a mob...to use them to pressure their elected representatives.

He reduces the power of Congress, who have the facts and resources to study the policies, while the mob have neither. He puts decison-making into the hands of a mob. This mob then pressures their elected representatives..who become fearful of losing their jobs.

"GG's cant take the Queen out of Canada"
Dan Gardner, The Ottawa Citizen
feb.11/2009

*(Read this article closely)
Queen Elizabeth is Queen of Canada and Head of State.
*On the GG's website you will not find a picture of the Queen.....
*Now have a look at Rideau Hall in particular, note what's not on the walls, In the Official residence of the Queens representative, Artwork abounds but struggle to find a portrait of the Queen since Madame Jean, In one of her first official acts, Ordered the Removal of the large painting of the Queen & prince Philip that had dominated the main balroom.

IMO we just seen the most Outrage ever in Canada over a Principal & O'Canada & Now i see that the Queens Rep Here in Canada has the Queens Portraits Removed!!
You go to Any Legion in Canada & you will find the Queens & Prince Philips portraits Proudly displayed, Yet our GG who is in effect Commander in Chief of the Forces Has the Queens portraits removed!!
I will be sending a letter to the RCL command offices to see if they are aware of this & will be bringing this to the floor of our Branch, This is Outrageous.

bryanr - remember that the GG is not a native Canadian; her husband is French and a separatist, and... What surprises me is that she was allowed to do this.

On another note - yet more on Obama. The Ace of Spades (who came second after Kate) has a post that the so-called bipartisan agenda of having the Democrats and Republians work on remodeling the 'stimulus package' was sabotaged by Reid and Pelosi so that no Republicans have any input.

Not bipartisan

And a commenter points out that there's speculation that a good proportion of the 'package' is geared to hire people for the 2010 and 2012 elections. Shades of Adscam.

My own view is that this is highly probable since Obama is always in a campaign mode and as he gains power, he'll use it more and more, to control people and events for his own agenda.

However, even though many comments claim that this way, the Republicans can show that they had nothing to do with this Program - Obama's future rhetoric will quite readily claim that the natural movement out of this recession is due to and only due to - him.

Whats Next the GG issue's orders that her picture be displayed In all Federal Bldg's & the Queens be removed & Remove the Queen from all monetary denominations & have the GG.

ET: i have sent an email to the Royal Canadian Legion Command office to bring this to their attention, I as iam sure Most Canadians would most likly assume that the Queens & Prince Philips are prodominently displayed & would find this incredible.

"Opening the package"

"Ignatieff and the Gretzky Factor.

"We didn't get it done." Michael Ignatieff at the Liberal Leadership convention December 2006.

In 1978 Wayne Gretzky began his professional hockey career by signing with the Indianapolis Racers of the WHA. Less than a year later he would be signed to play for the Edmonton Oilers where over the next 10 years he would lead the team to 4 Stanley Cup championship wins breaking numerous records along the way before being traded to the Los Angeles Kings on August 9, 1988; a day sports fans in Edmonton and Canada have etched into their minds.

In LA Gretzky picked up where he had left off by continuing to dominate the game and by taking his team through the 1993 playoffs where in one of the most memorable 7 game conference finals in NHL history, the Kings defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs earning their way into the league finals eventually losing out to the Montreal Canadiens; the last time a Canadian team won the cup. Gretzky would go on to play in the NHL until his retirement on April 18, 1999, at which time he held forty regular-season records, fifteen playoff records, and six All-Star records. He is the only NHL player ever to total more than 200 points in a single season, a feat he accomplished four times. In addition, he tallied over 100 points in 15 NHL seasons, 13 of them consecutively. Gretzky's #99 has been retired by all teams in the National Hockey League. He is one of only two athletes to have earned this honor from a major professional sport.

In 1978 Michael Ignatieff left his privileged life in Canada and moved to the United Kingdom where he lived and worked for 22 years until moving to the United States in 2000 where he would reside until 2005 when he decided that after a 27 year absence he would return to Canada with the goal of eventually becoming our prime minister. The 27 years that Michael Ignatieff was out of the country was 6 years longer than Wayne Gretzky's entire playing career and during that time I doubt that Michael Ignatieff ever watched Gretzky play the game, either in person at a game or even on "the telly".

And why is Gretzky so important? Well to be honest he isn't because hockey is not the most important thing in the world, and missing out on watching the career of the greatest hockey player in the world is not the ultimate sin, but it does demonstrate in a small way just how much of our everyday history and lives Ignatieff did miss during his decades long absence from the country. Call it the Gretzky Factor if you like."

Mantis System Makes International Debut At Aero India 2009

MANTIS is a fully autonomous next generation UAS [Unmanned Aircraft System], meaning it flies itself throughout the whole mission and the payload automatically detects and manages all target information. Autonomy greatly increases the effectiveness of operations by allowing commanders to focus on the overall task not vehicle control. This allows significantly reduced workload and manpower for operations, reduces risk of accidents due to human error and reduces communications/data link requirements between the vehicle and the ground...

"the Feb. 10 letter, signed by Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff, Bloc Quebecois Leader Gilles Duceppe and NDP Leader Jack Layton."
http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=1277708

Fritz, yes, thanks, I saw that.

Where our views differ is that Shiver focuses on Obama's childhood, feeling that he was both abandoned by his parents and on the other hand, spoiled by his grandparents. I'm not focusing on causality because I think that Obama's narcissism isn't that of an isolate yet spoiled child but is a fullblown pathology, where his narcissistic needs rule him.

Certainly, his grandparent's socialization and spoiling of him would lead him to the leftwing perspective. We all know that the left view themselves as elitists who will save the peasants of the world.

My concern is that Obama's need to control all actions of others means that the usual strategies of: misinformation, manipulation using emotions of hope and fear, and accusations of bigotry if you disagree with him..will, when coupled with the power of the presidency, become very dangerous.

As I noted, already, his strategy of dealing with the elected legislature and reducing its power is to set up partisan squabbles (Rep/Dem) and then, set up intra-party betrayals (Rep)..and then, move his key power base to the people. And he transforms the people from an informed citizenry into a manipulated hapless hallucinating mass.

He went to Rev. Wright's church for over 20 years; he's learned how to act as a messianic preacher and have people swaying and singing before him. That's how he treats the electorate.

As for the 'stimulus package' - it's useless. BUT, BUT, the economy will start to improve on its own, and he'll take the credit. AND, importantly, many of the projects are geared to move into place in two years, during the 2010 elections and in time for his next two-year campaign for his second term. Obama is all about control and power. Period.

Then spend the rest of the year listening to everything else on those lists that appear, you can't go wrong (except one or two of the piano concertos are a bit boring for my taste).

This free sharing of intellectual property brought to you by another isolated and embattled defender of western civ.

Dave: "Visable minorities make up over half [of Toronto's] population with a drastic decline in income."

I've just realized that we have a HUGE problem in Toronto, which dovetails exactly with the above comment. In the classroom I was in today, there were a few students who did ZILCH, and I mean NADA, RIEN, NOTHING.

My observation -- please, understand, not a value judgment but a fact -- is that they are immigrants' children, from visible minorities. It occurred to me as I asked one student why he had done exactly nothing in over an hour but play with a pencil, a pencil sharpener, a piece of paper, a piece of an eraser, that he NEVER intends to do anything because he figures that someone else will always pay the bills. Why should HE work when other Canadians will be forced to cover all of his expenses?

A chill to the bone. I felt like saying, no yelling, "Look, you little ****er, don't expect my kids to pay for your life. Get off your butt and DO something. Pay for your own way. My family pays all of our bills, plus gives to charity, while you whittle away the hours expecting everyone but you to fork over the money to pay for your nihilistic opportunism."

Of course, if I ever said any such thing to this 13-year-old parasite (and G*d knows about the rest of his family) I wouldn't have a job and would probably end up with thousands of dollars of fines levied by the OHRC.

Multi-culti dolts to the left of me
Parasites to the right
Here I am down Alice's Rabbit Hole again.

And, speaking of Toronto's Mor ... er, I mean Mayor David Miller: I was in his neighbourhood yesterday, in High Park. He really knows how to take care of himself and his neighbours. Two trucks did sentry on the section of closed road being cleared of snow where a jaunty little front-end loader was scooping it up and depositing it in a dump truck.

Then, I thought of my downtown neighbourhood, where our streets still have mounds of snow turned into ice, preventing cars parking and slowing up traffic to a trickle. No sentry trucks, front-end loaders, or dump trucks to scoop up or remove OUR snow after the snowiest winter Toronto's ever had.

Like I said, Miller knows how to take care of himself and his neighbours. Forget the rest of us.
Doesn't that sound just like a typical lib-leftie?

One more thing: You're never going to hear "official" Canada talking about this problem, of immigrants putting a huge burden on the rest of us and our purses (unlike immigrants of the past who moved to Canada and more than pulled their weight).

Victim groups, which the lib-left surely understands many immigrants to be part of, are big business. There are myriad hangers-on making substantial livings from the shambles too many of our cities have become -- Toronto being the most challenged and most at risk -- whose bread and butter, and any other privileges and perqs they enjoy, are utterly dependent on parasitic immigrants.

Most immigrants will pull on the infrastructure of social programs for themselves and their families for a year or two until they become functioning, participating, and contributing Canadian citizens. That's the usual pattern. Unfortunately, there seems to be a growing number of immigrants who like the gravy train and who prefer the social safety net to walking the social and economic tightrope the rest of us negotiate every day.

Eventually, the safety net's going to break. What then? Eventually, David Miller will be demanding blood from a stone. What then?

Isn't it funny how Canada's stagnation began when Pierre Trudeau was prime minister? We haven't recovered yet. We used to have real growth rates of 8%, but since the mid-'70s, real incomes have stalled. Even David Olive mentioned this in his Star article Saturday on the Florida-Martin paper.

Incidentally, that paper, to sum up, contained a typical mix of truth, half-truth and outright nonsense, and was distinguished by its faith in government coercion in place of supply and demand economics and a cart-before-horse attitude with regard to practically every recommendation it made.
